An Ode to the Instagram generation
summary
Claims that visuals drive retention give way to a hands-on claim: usability testing finds concrete friction points in Instagram/Snapchat/Hike. Workshop runs a three-stage usability process (prep, execution, synthesis) but only executes rapid, task-oriented tests: testers ask strangers to “click a photo, apply filter, post a story,” observers note frustration, duplicate icons, platform-dependent crashes and about a 2/3 success rate on simple tasks. Synthesis is suggested but not completed; findings are behavioral, not opinion-based.
